Jeff Kemp    

Former NFL Quarterback, VP at FamilyLife

Jeff Kemp is a champion for strengthening relationships and teamwork. His coaching brings honesty and hopeful vision to leaders, organizations and families who need to turn life’s troubles into triumphs and succeed through teamwork.

Kemp’s team-building approach was influenced by his father Jack, 49ers coach Bill Walsh, teamwork coach Pat Lencioni and relationship experts over his three decades lifting families.

After graduating from Dartmouth College, he entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent. He and his dad Jack Kemp, the late Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, were the first of only six sets of NFL father-son quarterbacks. In his 11 NFL seasons, Kemp quarterbacked for the Rams, Forty-Niners, Seahawks and Eagles. In the off seasons, he earned his MBA from Pepperdine University, focused on speaking and campaigned for his dad’s presidential nomination.

Kemp’s football career was a rollercoaster, from fourth QB to starter, from the bench to the playoffs, and from winning games to getting traded. He’s beaten the blitz on Monday Night Football and been cut midseason as a starting QB. He helped his teams and teammates, both on and off the field. Those highs, lows and epic team experiences set the stage for a career of serving others, building teamwork and helping people from all walks of life overcome adversity.

After the NFL, Kemp worked to improve the lives of children by strengthening marriages and families. He founded and led Stronger Families for eighteen years and then served as a Vice President and Catalyst at FamilyLife, an international leader nurturing marriages and families.

Kemp is Fatherhood Ambassador and a board member of The Fatherhood CoMission. His sweet spot is leading men’s retreats and building men’s identity, Level 5 Friendship, and love for family.

Kemp’s gift is casting vision and uniting teams. He has delivered presentations to more than 1,300 audiences, including IBM, Northwestern Mutual, American Petroleum Institute, Young Presidents Organization, and Interstate Battery. Jeff has keynoted at hundreds of non-profit groups like governor’s prayer breakfasts, Athletes in Action Super Bowl breakfast and the Billy Graham Crusade.

“Facing the Blitz - Three Strategies for Turning Trials into Triumphs,” was released in 2015 and “The MENHUDDLE QuickStart Playbook for Level 5 Friendship” in 2022. People remark that Jeff’s transparent stories and concepts are powerful, easy-to-remember and actionable. With self-deprecating humor and vulnerability Jeff helps people embrace challenges, serve others and turn problems into positives.

He was a long shot to make an NFL team, but right after his second season, Jeff joined his greatest team, marrying Stacy. They have four married sons and nine grandchildren. They mentor young couples and speak for FamilyLife Weekend to Remember marriage getaways. Stacy won’t mountain bike, or crash, with Jeff. But they love to play tennis, grandparent and ski as a family.
